With the original game and the Defender of the Empire and Enemies of the Empire expansions remade, there are 145 missions in this one mod. They’ve added their own missions, too, but have kept the storyline beats where you’d expect them to be. The complete overhaul has upgraded the original game, enabling bigger battles with more ships. According to the devs, they’re "taking advantage of the much better XWA engine and imagining how TIE Fighter could've been had the technology of the time not limited it." It really makes it all pop.Īs spotted by Kotaku, this is more than the TIE Fighter you remember.

It's such a simple fix alongside the luxurious lighting and superb modelling, but I love the galactic backdrops they've added. It once again has me plugging in my headset and dusting off my joystick. TIE Fighter: Total Conversion is a mod for Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance, perfectly recreating one of the best space games and arguably best ever Star Wars game of all time, Star Wars: TIE Fighter. That spectacular work has resulted in another remake.

Everything has been renewed by the modders, bringing 3D cockpits, gorgeous lighting, upgraded ship models, and even VR to the game. As we've previously mentioned, X-Wing Alliance Upgrade is an incredible overhaul of the ancient space shooter that makes it look like it was made yesterday, in a galaxy right next door.
